Godless by Pete Hautman
It was an unusual story and well written, but most of the characters were kind of flat. Or maybe the right word is compressed...flattened...hemispherical. Missing the why.
The story showed nicely how some people can sort-of believe in something even when they know it's nutters . Other people, slightly unbalanced already, go nutters over it--some with absolute belief, others with absolute rejection (because it conflicts their own nutty beliefs.) It's the rare but sensible soul who recognizes the nuttiness inherent in a belief in things that cannot be seen, heard, felt, or subjected to scientific experimentation. But hey--that's my own belief..
